have dominated online news platforms in this yuletide season.
While not interested in joining issues or taking sides with either of the elderly chiefs, I would simply identify four salient age-long misconceptions which have now resurfaced following the eye-openers from the open letters.Nigeria purports to be a federation but in her actions, she is everything but one. The country has continued as a unitary state in line with Aguiyi Ironsi’s Decree 34 of 1966.
And the fact that he could so defiantly and confidently use his Ota Farm example as a proud instance of how Nigeria carries on, reveals how ignorant our supposed leaders and elders are on the ideal global standards for managing society of a heterogeneous nature as Nigeria.The term “Niger Delta” is a language of colonialism and imperialism. Colonialists adopt such anonymous names to undermine the true identities of those they wish to colonise.
The Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko, Ijaw, Ogoni, Kalabari, Efik, Ibibio, etc. are the owners of the oil. The term Niger Delta is nebulous and imprecise and has been used as an instrument of deception both by outsiders and their accomplices from within to loot the region dry and do much harm to the peoples. The story of the NDDC and its fainting dramatists is just one of such instances of the ridicule and damage such anonymity can lead to.
The term “tribesman” is a derogatory colonial concept used to intimidate victims towards submission to a supposed more authentic identity. It is a term chosen to denigrate a stubborn patriot who insists on being true to his identity. The coloniser’s objective is to ridicule the victim to submission into an artificial inauthentic identity, which ultimately alienates and uproots him/her from his/her God-given identity.
Ogheneochuko Arodovwe, I thank you for this your powerful, and educative piece of exposure of this identity-confused man Obasanjo; he thinks and parades himself as a know-all. I am looking forward to the 2nd part tomorrow.
I wished you can write this your letter in ur local language and not those who colonised you. Not until the region turned herself from snake swallowing dollars and put in a meaningful development, empty barrel like you will keep making useless noise. Kill dangerous dollar snakes
That he enabled destruction of what he created.
